'On Friday the outward bound East and West passing down Channel, proved agra•ii--s lying speEtacle from the Cliffs. About three o'clock, P.M. from two to three hundred sail formed a crowd ed line on the horizon, immediately opposite to the • town, the greater part of which, in their proper course, had"disappeared before sun-set. The Dap per Gun-brig has been ordered off this station ; she has been succeeded by the Defence. On Friday the first division of the first, or light battalion, of his Majesty's German Legion, 'marched into this town, which, on the following day, 'com menced its march for Bexhill, thereby making room for the second division, which arrived sooty' atteri and followed the former this morning. The first division of' the second battalion of the same Legion halted here this day, and which will only remain with' us until' to-morrow. Notwithstanding the privations and fatigues of the late Spaniih campaign, the men are in most excellent health and condition, Crisdale, the brave fellow of the loth Light Dra goons, Who so gallantly took the French General Ltfebvre prisoner,' is now at Brighton. The sword and pistols of the above-captured General were sent to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.

The last Lisbon Gazette contains the fol lowing article:— LISBON, FEB. 14.—With the most sincere and lively pleasure we announce to the public the lot lowing, intelligence, which is this moment received.; " Head-Qusaters, Chaves, Feb.-6[ - . Yesterday I was with the Marquis DE LA Ro- , MANA, who has colleded his army; and I found him and all his Stati in the highest spirits. Flu tells.me that-Galin:la 'begins to revive, and that within these few days about 4000 men have joined him; and that he expeds his army will soon be 2:5,000 strtmg, and that he intends to advance into • the interior of Gal , • lieia. The inhabitants of that kingdom, even many of those who received the ,French, as at Orence, have revolted against them, and joined some of the diSpersed corps of the army Within these tew days they took all the baggage belonging to-General MitacustNo . .s , army, which , were escorted •by 140 cavalry, the whole of whom were .tilled or taken, " except eleven. This took place at the_village of Valduros, near Orense, and the • FrenCli- military chests, and even their Secretariat, fell into the hands of the assailants. This example hate animated the people of other distrids, and they now ad' without tear of the French. a' The enemy are dying in great number*, in con seqnence of _disease in Spain, and they assert them selves that the plague has been introduced into their army. The greater part of the divisions of fortigtv troops are put on half rations of bread, while the French themselves receive full allowance. The day before yesterday a spy arrived from Madrit), who asserts that the armies of the Duke DEL INPANTADO and the Marquis Da PALACIO are already before that city, and that the French have taken their positions without the city for its defence. It is the opinion of the Marquis Dir LA ItOMA NA .that Madrid is at this moment either taken or evacuated. " One thing is certain, that the greater part of But:', NAPARTU'S troops were deceived, when he brought •The contingents of the Rhine and them to Spain. Italian troops were taught to believe that all Spain was under his dominion, and that they would only have to occupy conquered provinces, where they would find comfortable establishments. He even ordered the word' " Legion of Andalusia," " Legion of Cas tile," &c. to be inscribed on the uniform buttons of several corps, Final i ly, the Marquis requested that I should make known to all Abe Generals of the Portuguese armies, the necessity •of establishing military posts of communication with thetriselves and the Spanish armies,.und, in particular, between that - of the Mat • and our army of the provinces of Entre DJaro n Ito."
